Katy’s Weblog
On Sunday, I taught the concept of Lent to the children.
Lent is generally practiced among Catholics, but it doesn’t hurt if we Protestants practice some kind of giving up of something in preparation for Easter.
I explained to the children that whatever we sacrifice, it’s nothing compared to what Jesus did for us when…
Thank you for the surprise gift at the front gate! When I first saw it, I thought it was some kind of advertisement, the kind where if you want to buy it, you pay for it. If you don’t want it, the promoters will come by and take it back. I looked around the neighborhood expecting every house to have one of these hanging at their front door. LOL!
I sold my son’s bunk bed today…
We’ve had that bed for over 10 years, probably closer to 15. I didn’t think I would feel sad, but I do.

I became a Christ follower when I was 16. After 30+ years of being a Christian, you would think I have it down pat basic concepts such as Loving God, Loving People, Knowing the Bible…
I am not giving a full review here, but just noting a couple of books I read recently.

I read another biography of a Christian hero (children’s narrative version).
William Booth is the founder of the Salvation Army. With what do you associate the Salvation Army? Soliciting money at Christmas with the ringing bell? The Salvation Army truck picking up your discards? The Salvation Army band at parades? (there is an interesting history about the band recounted in the book.)
Take a look at this space saving apartment. I’d be happy just to add some more bookshelves in my house.

This article makes me want to buy the ipad.
We know the right answer. “The church is about the people…people not program…”
But the way we act often reflect otherwise. We get upset with people when the program doesn’t run smoothly. We are irritated with people who disagree with us how things ought to be done. We stay away from people who are to…
